Gym Jordan Escalates Fight Over Probe Into Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has subpoenaed the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), demanding access to documents related to the organization's probe of Elon Musk's Twitter purchase.

The subpoena is an escalation in the political drama surrounding the FTC's investigation into Musk's October 2022 acquisition of the social media platform, including the subsequent layoffs and the sharing of Twitter documents with journalists. Prior to Musk's ownership, Twitter had long been the subject of scrutiny, specifically from GOP lawmakers who charged that the platform was censoring right-wing tweeters.

Jordan, an Ohio Republican, has ordered FTC Chair Lina Khan to provide the Judiciary Committee with documents and internal communication related to the Twitter investigation by April 26, according to Axios.

An FTC spokesman told Newsweek that the commission has offered to brief Jordan's staff multiple times on nonpublic information about its investigation into Twitter, but the Judiciary Committee hasn't accepted the FTC's offer.

Anyone who buys an at best $28 bil company for $44 bil and then does incredibly creative things to further reduce the company's value and brand's prestige is my idea of cheap entertainment. Please Mr. Jordan, don't mess that up.

if he kept on interfering with Bragg's work in NY, and shifted to something else.
